    You should have got more quotes then. BG wanted £4800 to replace my boiler, got it done for £3200 by a local.

    Probably right, the range of quotes we got was incredible, paid just under two grand in the end, but some quotes were pushing double that amount.

    I did get more quotes... if you read the whole thread you would know that. I got 4 and BG, after I talked them down £313, were the cheapest: They did it for £2003.

    Fair enough. Sounds as though tadley got a bit stitched up unless it was a large boiler.

    So, nothing that does not happen to you exists? If other people have different experiences from yours, they must be in an alternative universe?

    For the last time, BG were the cheapest. And what are you heating if you needed to pay £3,200 for a boiler, Downton Abbey?
